In full: Couldn't give it a higher recommendation. This -- and not FLM -- is what marathon running is all about. A race for runners, organised by runners, in a lovely location with good local support. One to treasure.

In short: A great event and very well organised. The organisers were even able to handle individual drink requests which had to be delivered to Tilsley Park by 1pm Saturday. All drinks were in the right place on the course.

In short: Very good facilities at start/finish, but a shame we had to walk up and down the stadium steps to reach the changing rooms -difficult with leg cramps! Great race, though.
